Poster Session for the Research Project of our final year Psychology students

On Friday, 18th January 2019, the final year students of the International Faculty's Psychology Department held a poster session for their Research Projects due to begin soon. The event took place at the reception hall of the Leontos Sofou building at our main campus in Thessaloniki. Led by Dr Aristea Ladas, the poster session aimed at providing students with the opportunity to present their research proposals and receive feedback on their planned study from Psychology Department academic staff, in addition to that received by their supervisors. Additional and diverse feedback is intended to enable students to better design their research. During the event the atmosphere was pleasant, easy-going and communicated to our students that receiving feedback can be both interesting and fun! Simulating a proper conference poster session also gave our students a first-hand experience of how it will be to present their research in conferences, adding to their skills as mental health professionals.  We wish to our students best success in the continuation of their projects!

Mr Liassides at the 13th Annual Learning & Teaching Conference at the University of Sheffield

Mr Chris Liassides, Senior Lecturer at the Business Administration and Economics Department of the International Faculty, participated in the 13th Annual Learning & Teaching conference that was held at the University of Sheffield in the UK, on Tuesday 8 January 2019. Themed, ‘Assessment and Feedback for Student Learning' the conference featured many interesting presentations from academics from all six Faculties of the University of Sheffield. Representing the International Faculty CITY College, Mr Liassides participated with an insightful presentation, coauthored with Dr Leslie Szamosi, Director of the Executive MBA, on the topic of "The Advantages and Disadvantages of Personalised Audio Feedback (PAF) at the International Faculty in the Era of Sound-Bites and GDPR: A Two Case Analysis". Over 80 participants attended the session in question, during which Mr Liassides attempted to discuss the challenges of personalised audio feedback provided to students and the future of this practice in the era of GDPR. The discussion that followed after the presentation involved almost all the attendees, sharing with each other their experiences in such type of feedback provision. Special emphasis was placed on the legal aspects of audio feedback, its ownership, given the recent developments regarding the General Data Protection Regulation and compliance to it. The conference was an opportunity for academic members of staff to come together and explore different approaches to assessment and feedback, and reflect on how they make the most of innovations in this area to support student learning.
